Happy EASTER 2013

Dear Parents and Students,

Happy Easter to you all! 

We decorated Easter Eggs this week with our Reading Buddies, the Pre-K students.  It was such a joyful and creative event!  We also had our Easter Egg Hunt today.  What fun that was!  Have a look…

Spring Break is here!  I cannot believe the year is going this fast! 

Students, remember about the reading assignment on biographies that needs to be done when you return from Spring Break on Monday, April 8^th. 

Parents, also a friendly reminder about our Parent/Teacher meetings on April 9^th and 10^th.  If you are not capable of attending the arranged meeting, please inform the office as soon as possible or you can send me an email.  I am looking forward to meeting with you again. 

Students, so much fun is waiting for us during the last term of the year.  On Wednesday, April 17^th, we will have our annual Pottery Day.  Letters have been sent home this week regarding our Pottery Day.  Parents, please send the money to school in an envelope with your child’s name and grade on it by Tuesday, April 9^th. 

Students, keep working on those Science Fair Projects.  April 24^th is getting closer.  Remember all the things we spoke about in class and do your best.  Come and show the other grades what you have learnt and experienced. 

Remember that Earth Hour is taking place on Saturday, March 30^th.  Switch off all lights from 8.30pm – 9.30pm.  Let us all work together to help conserve our planet!

Everyone did a very good job with their Oral Presentations.  Well done, Third Graders.  What a great performance!  As soon as we have all the video recordings in the correct format I will post the television interviews on our blog. 

It was Dahyun Joo's birthday on Monday, March 25th.  We had so much fun and she treated us with a pizza party and a very delicious cake.  Thank you very much, Dahyun!  Happy birthday!
